Interaction Mobilizer is a software platform that enables midsized to large contact centers and enterprises to deploy customer service applications for tablets and other mobile devices. It supplies customer-specific contextual information to contact center agents and enables users to conduct transactions without leaving their apps.

With this launch, Interaction Mobilizercustomers will be able to deploy branded Windows Store apps to offer their customers a superior service experience via mobile devices.

"Instead of frustrating customers with the traditional separation of self-service and live voice calls, Interaction MobilizerTusers on a Windows 8 device can simply select an option from within the app to update account details, transfer funds, connect to a live contact center agent, or conduct some other activity," said Interactive Intelligence founder and CEO, Donald Brown, in a statement. "This is the kind of next-generation customer service that Interaction Mobilizer for Windows 8 and Windows RT delivers."

"Microsoft developers have always provided great functionality and value for our shared customers," said John Richards, senior director of Windows App marketing at Microsoft, in the statement. "With its new design, cloud connectivity, and proven hardware, Windows 8 gives them the platform that enables their customers to deliver value-added, no-compromise service experiences."
